IT is going to cost the Illinois
railroad on which the accident near
Chatsworth occurred the other day,
something fright smart before it
gets through with the business. The
law fixes the price for killing per-
son on the railroad at $4,000, and
as there were in the neighborhood
of eighty killed, the death bill will
amount to about 100000. 1t is
more difficult to settle with the in
iured, who require from $4,000 to
$4,000 each, according to the de-
gree of disability. 1t is estimated
that it will require fully 1000, 900
to settle the bills, besides the cost
of wrecked cars, ETC., and loss of
prestige. The money would have
built a great many bridges of un-
flammable material, and would
have paid for watching the track a
good many years. 1t very often
happens that what is assumed to be
rigid economy is the most reckless
aud inexcusable extravaganza. This
is almost invariably the case when
a saving is attempted at the expense
of proper watchfulness and reason
able caution.-SdH Lake Herald.

INvEsTMENTs.- Capitalists are
often anxious to make investments
but for fear of loss prefer to keep
their moneys in banks, to risking It
in railroads, mining stocks or even
State or municipal stocks and bonds
Railroads often default on their
obligations or water their stocks,
States repudiate, and mining stocks
as rule either pay immense divl-
dends or nothing at all. An occa-
sional paying mine is the exception
and not the rule. Those we'll vers-
ed in such matters say that it takes
on an average of $3.50 to mine one
of gold or silver. In this uncertain
state of affairs one is at loss where
to turn for investment, but a mo-
ments thought will suggest, (when-
ever the opportunity offers an in
vestment IN "Water Bonds"
I ne Maverick National Bank OF
Boston IN a manual recently issued
discusses this question with such
intelligence that che who runs
may read" Among the features
of their desirability as investments,
it says "Water companies are not
subject to fire risk, but the fire risk
on other property gives it addition
alsvalue. The system of advance
payments shuts out bad debts, which
cripples SO many manufacturing
and mercantile concerns and huc-
tuation and depressions in prices
are unknown. Competition is not
factor, as no city has two compan-
les attempting to cover the same
territory.
"Should a municipality seek to
compromise its funded debt it can
not avoid paying its water obliga
tions as the company has the legal
right to shut off the supply. In the
whole history of water works there
have been but three instances Of
foreclosure and then no loss was
sustained by the investors. With
such reasons as these, unanswerable
as they are, it seems no one can
hesitate (when the opportunity Of
fers) to invest in water bonds"
In 1910 there were only thirteen
water companies in this country
in 1886 there were 1,4O2
In 1875 London with a popula-
ton of 3,l73,1 08, had only total
daily supply of 122, 900, 900 gallons;
in Baltimore now the daily capacity
is 10, 900, 900 gallons. 1t may not
be generally known, but it is a fact
that Baltimore has the largest sup
ply of any city in this country The
water works in New York giving
supply of only 92,OOO,Ooo gallons
cost $40, 100000 while Baltimore's
only cost $40, 2S,O1S. Many large
cities build and run their own
works but out of ,402 companies
in this country 675 are private cor
porations. The only trouble about
investing in them is that the pre-
miums are generally SO heavy that
investors do not like to pay it. But
so many new cities want water, that
are without the means of supplying
the want that capitalists can find
the Investment in new enterprises
that are sure to pay.

SAN FRANCISCO, September 12.-Ad-
vices by the steamer San Pubic, from Chi,

eclipse of the sun, August 10, could be
viewed, the result was very unsatisfactory,
more especially at Sbirakawa, where the
United States expedition, under the direc-
tion of Professor Todd, was located.
Twenty minutes after the eclipse hegan
the sun was hidden by the clouds, and re-
mained hidden during the total eclipse. 1t
was like dark night, and the face Of q
man standing at a distance of three feet
could Lot be seen.

cepted as as fact. The Viceroy Ii, great
as is his authority, did not act without inn

The tone of all the Chinese papers ia one
of widest astonishment at the concessions

latest edition ON the truthfulnes5 of the
story. notwithstanding that in their earlier
editions they laughed at the statements as
being utterly udtrue.

ernment the President said to-day 10 the
representative of the Associated Press
THE criticism upon the action of the
Treasury Department for refusal TO accept
any Of the offers of bonds last Wednesday
il seems to me is inc0nsiderately
made. In the arst place the offers were
higher considering the lapse of the time
they had TO run than they had heretofore
been and did not present as favorable
terms 10 the government la the next
place the number offered was
much less than on former occasions.
These facts may well give rise TO the in.
ference that people holding bonds pre-,
ierred them to money. The Government
ought not to be expected regardless OF any
public purpose to identify itself vith pri-
yate business or speculation,

VERY AMUSING, VERY
COMMENTS ON THE NEW YORK 'TRIBUNES
ACCOUNT OF THE CALDWELL MEETING,
Where The Wild, Fiery and Unbridlsd Young ASS o.
Ohio Does HIS Trapsze Act on the Bloody
Shirt-Our Friend G0f BObs
Up in Rttsburg.

WASHINGTON, D. c., September H.
The Tribune, Blaine's New York organ,
devotes q column to a report of Foraker 8
Caldwell speech. The preliminary COM
uents of the correspondent ARE laughable.
He explains that Caldwell is village in
q thinly settled, obscure part of Ohio. "
Perhaps that is why the benighted popula-
ton is Republican. He says fully 5,OOO
people were at the meeting, and this fact
is herewith telegraphed back to Ohio for
purposes of comparison. He describes
Foraker's picture decorated with tattered
battle flags. He continues thus: There
was a striking difference between the
Republican opening and the Democratic
affair at Hamilton, at which there
was much Drunkenness and noisy dem
onstration." Apparently fearing general
acceptance sof this assertion, hs adds this
reason: Caldwell is a prohibition vii
lage," and then he proceeds to tangle
himself up by saying that every allusion to
the Dow law was heartily cheered, show
ing that even where there was not O sa-
loon the principle Of taxation with local
option features is preferred to impractica-
bic prohibition. The evidence OF this
mixed style of assertion is that the CORE
spondent at least was as drunk as any
body at Hamilton.
Then he alludes to the banner In front Of
Private Dalzell's house bearing the in-
scription, For President, j. B. Foraker y
The poignancy Of the snubs the Pres
dent has given the young man" with the
big mouth seems pitiable. While he de-
clares that he will waste no time over
man like Cleveland in his individual ca.
pacity, it appears that Mr.. Cleveland has
wasted no time on Foraker in any OF his
capacities. The festive correspondent
aGirms that Foraker made scathing
exposure of Powell's fallaciops argu-
ment, but he says the arraignment
of Cleveland was the great feature. This
is a virtual acknowledgement that Fora
kers attempt to discuss the tariff was as
asinine as at Cincinnati four years ago,
when he preached the home market doc
triue and in the same breath showed how
a buggy-maEer friend of his was Waking
money exporting buggles. A Republican
